Answer:

Yes,

The quotient of two rational numbers is always rational, and the reason for this lies in the fact that the product of two integers is always an rational number.

Name two solutions for each inequality.

ahrayia [7]

So,

#1: $n \geq 3 \frac{11}{16} + 4 \frac{1}{2}$

Convert to like improper fractions.
$n \geq \frac{59}{16} + \frac{72}{16}$

Add.
$n \geq \frac{131}{16}\ or\ 8 \frac{3}{16}$

So, one solution could be $8 \frac{3}{16}$ .

Another solution could by 9. There is also 10, 11, 12, etc., and all numbers in between.

#2: $k \ \textless \ 6 \frac{2}{5} * 15$

Convert into improper fraction form.
$k \ \textless \ \frac{32}{5} * 15$

Multiply.
$\frac{(2^5)(3)(5)}{5}$

Cross-cancel, and we have our final result.
$(2^5)(3) = 96$
k < 96

96 is not a solution.

95 is a solution.

So is 94, 93, 92, etc, and all numbers in between.

How to solve 3(x+1)=5(x-2)+7

igor_vitrenko [27]

So first do 3(x+1) which is 3x+3 because you have to multiply the outside number by the stuff in side the parentheses. Then you do the 5(x-2)+7 and it should be 5x-10+7 so now your equation should be 3x+3=5x-10+7 now subtract the 3x from the 5x and now your equation should look like this: 3=2x-10+7. Then you add the 10 and the 7 so now your equation should look like this: 3=2x-3 because it's a -10 and a positive 7 it would be -3. So then you have to add the -3( which now becomes positive to the other 3 in front of the = sign. So now your equation should look like this: 6=2x. Now divide by 2 to get x by its self and now your answer should be 3=x or x=3.

Create and solve a system of equations for the following scenario: Luke and Leia are selling hot dogs and hamburgers at a minor

mixas84 [53]

So x + y = 45, and 4x + 5y = 195. Get y by itself. Subtract x from both sides in the first equation to get y = 45 -x, and subtract 4x from the second equation to get 5y = 195 - 4x. Divide by 5 to both sides to get y = 39 - 4/5x. 39 - 4/5x = 45 - x. Add x to both sides to get 39 - 1/5x = 45. Subtract 39 from both sides to get -1/5x = 6. Divide by -1/5 to get x = -30, or 30. In the first equation, do 30 + y = 45. Subtract 30 from both sides to get y = 15. Check. 4(30) + 15(5) = 195, or 120 + 75 = 195.
